Jim Fusco covers: Acoustic cover songs – music videos by the songwriters of the Laptop Sessions video blog. Daily music blog with new indie rock acoustic songs.
Hello again, everyone! Back with another announcement.
For all my Laptop Sessions viewers, I present an extra-special treat this year for the holidays. It’s Jim Fusco’s 14 Days of Rock’n’Roll Christmas!
Starting on Sunday, December 7th, I’ll post a new recording every day for 14 days. I’ve recorded all of my favorite Christmas songs and I’d love if everyone would download them. And, they’ll all be FREE!
So, check back here on the 7th and every day after for free downloads of my brand-new Christmas song recordings! See you then!
I’m performing LIVE on Saturday, December 5th at 4:00pm at Christmas In the Village, a yearly festival in South Meriden, CT that’s totally FREE! That means free parking, free food, and free entertainment! It’s a great day for the whole family.
I’ll be performing all of my favorite rock’n’roll Christmas songs starting at 4:00pm.
Happy 2015, everyone! For my first post of the year, I’m proud to bring you the full video from my concert celebrating the release of my 2014 album, “The Easy Ways”! In this concert, I play the album in its entirety. I made a special mix of the album without the lead vocals and lead guitar. So, I was able to play alongside that backing track to give the audience a real preview of what the album sounded like!
We had a great turnout and performance went off without a hitch. If you weren’t able to make it, it’s a great opportunity to watch and listen to the whole album! And, if you went, I’m sure you’ll want to relive the concert again and again. 🙂
The concert, like the album, is split into two sections. So, make sure to watch both videos. I’d love to hear any comments about the album and hope everyone enjoys.
Hello all, and welcome to my first installment of Original Wednesday this year!
Today, I reveal the second song from my upcoming album, “The Easy Ways”, due out on September 20th, 2014. “Everything That’s True” is the song that kicks off part two of the album (there’s a short interlude song called “Looking For An Angel” that plays before it, but this is the first full song on the second half of the album).
“Everything That’s True” is a classic Jim Fusco love song. It reminds me of the kind of tune I used to write years ago. That was back when I was in high school and was the hopeless romantic type. Oh, who am I kidding- I’m exactly the same now! It’s interesting to me that it took about ten years for me to write another song like this. I guess I was feeling sentimental that day.
There are a couple of lines I’m proud of in this song, one being, “The weight I give to things I can’t control is still above the morals I uphold. But when you’re here it doesn’t take that toll.” What did I mean by that? (That question is an inside joke for my dad- Ron Darling/Bob Ojeda-esque?) Well, I meant that I give way too much value to things that are out of my control. Or, at least I think I do. You know the old prayer about giving the strength to accept the things I cannot change? Yeah, I guess I never got that memo…
Here’s another line I’m proud of: “The strength you hold was never as profound as when you weren’t near me.” I’m saying that I never realized the power that my wife has over me (figuratively speaking, of course) until she went away on a vacation with her friends one time. When she’s here, I guess I take her companionship for granted. And when she was away from me those few days, I realized how much I really do “need” her around. Funny how it takes someone not being there to make you realize that.
So, I hope you’ll apply these sentiments to some of the people you care about in your life. I also hope that you’ll head on over to http://jimfusco.com and buy my album when it comes out on September 20th and hear the full version of this song. It has some awesome harmonies on the chorus that probably features one of my lowest-pitch vocals ever. It’s not to be missed!
I’ll be back next week with another cover song. And a week after that, I’ll be back again with another original song! Starting to see the pattern? It’ll go that way until “The Easy Ways” is finally released! See you then.
